Article Synopsis
- - Genetic generalized epilepsy (GGE) includes types like childhood absence epilepsy and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, showing a higher risk of occurrence in first-degree relatives of affected individuals, suggesting a strong genetic component.
- - Research, including whole exome sequencing from families in Sudan, has identified specific genetic variants linked to GGE, indicating it is genetically diverse and likely influenced by multiple genes rather than a single cause.
- - The study emphasizes the importance of examining familial cases, as well as using populations with unique genetic backgrounds, to better understand the complex genetics of GGE, reinforcing the idea that it may have oligogenic inheritance patterns.
Article Synopsis
- - Genetic generalized epilepsies (GGE), including various types such as childhood absence epilepsy and juvenile myoclonic epilepsy, are influenced by multiple genes, making it hard to pinpoint specific genetic causes.
- - A study focused on a Sudanese population used whole-exome sequencing to identify genetic variants in 40 GGE patients from 20 families and found several rare missense variants potentially linked to the condition.
- - The research indicated that certain genetic variants may play a role in the severity of GGE symptoms and established a connection between these variants and different GGE phenotypes, suggesting specific susceptibility genes.
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is autoimmune inflammatory disease that attacks the synovium of the joints. Both TNF and interleukin-1 play crucial roles in the pathogenesis of RA. Gum Arabic (GA) is gummy exudates from tree.
